Peeps answered Friday June 13 2008, 2:11 pm:
Actually, it is derived from the French word "Beau" which actually means beautiful.

Although "beau" does not sound anything like "boo" that it is how it originally came to be. Pretty much, someone mispronounced the word and thought it sounded like a pleasant word to call their partner.

In addition, in 18th century England it meant an admirer, usually male. It is usually to either gender nowadays and typically is understood as a multitude of things, centering around affectionate terms such as: Sweetheart, cutie, girlfriend, boyfriend, and even sexy.

Boo is normally a pet name (baby, hunny, etc).
I know people have also used it to shorten down the word beautiful.
